WINEMAKER NOTES
Sourced from two excellent vineyard blocks in Lodi, these blocks are known to
produce exceptional wines. The first block provided a strong backbone while the
second offered more fruit forward characteristics. To further add softness, a
substantial amount of Merlot from Lodi and Mendocino was blended in. Finally,
a small amount of Petite Sirah Clarksburg Petite Sirah and Lodi Malbec was
added to provide more complexity and fruit flavors.

FOOD PAIRINGS
The ultimate steak wine, we recommend a rich hanger steak or a flat iron
to stand up to the bold and dark flavors of this Cabernet Sauvignon.
Another excellent pairing would be juicy Carne Asada with roasted spring
onions and a side of pinto beans cooked with a ham hock.
